too much for oem muffler to take?

my current i/e: kn panel w/ztube, 1/2" plenum spacer, headers, and z midpipe......i know backpressure is needed for n/a..however, just wondering if the stock sedan muffler is overwhelmed?

if anyone is wondering about the exhaust note, it sounds like stock, just 3x louder with a throaty signature.

I have a similar set up to yours on my G35C, but I also have a Tanabe Y pipe. I really like the oem muffler sound. The db level is louder than stock, but no droning. I don't see any reason why the oem muffler will ever be an issue.

Keith,

The Coupe muffler is larger (higher CFM flow) and most likely less restrictive than the Sedan's Muffler.
